$body

The $body QC command is used to specify a body mesh that contains vertex, UV map, skeleton and envelope data for the model. Without at least one body, the model will have no physical appearance.

Tip:Models with facial animation use $model.

Note:Body meshes co-exist by default, rather than replacing each other.

Usage

$body	<name> <reference smd>

Options

<name>

A label for this body to distinguish it from other body meshes (if there are any).

<reference smd>

Path to and name of the 'reference' (sometimes 'model') SMD relative to the QC file's current directory.

Example

$modelname		"weapons/shell.mdl"
$cdmaterials		"models/weapons/"
$body		shell	"shell-ref.smd"
$sequence	idle	"shell-idle.smd"
